  i don't know if anyone noticed since i'm not one of the premier posters, but i've been gone for several weeks.

  unfortunately, the reason is i was in a very bad car accident.

  i can't give too many details, because i don't want to be identified, but my car was hit by a semi truck on a major freeway during rush hour.

  I just saw a movie about a little town named Darkness Falls, and I am still kicking myself for sitting through this BOMB. The so-called evil entity just looked like some kind of giant kabuki puppet/"Scary Movie" thingie swooping down on victim after victim (YAWN)-- yeah, THAT was real scary. After the first fifteen minutes, I wanted to strap this movie into the electric chair and flip the switch. And after the next fifteen minutes, I was ready to sit in Old Sparky myself.

  The troubled past of 'Spiderman'
  By Tariq Tahir and Nilufer Atik, Evening Standard
  5 November 2003

  The man who brought London's traffic to a standstill after climbing a crane at Tower Bridge plans to end his protest today. David Chick, 36, has been wearing a Spiderman suit while demonstrating against being denied access to his daughter. Speaking over a walkie-talkie to the Evening Standard, he told for the first time that he had convictions for possession of drugs but denied being a drug-user... click here for the rest of the story...

  I just wouldn't want any legit protest against The Brooklyn Boyz to end up being listed in the "wackiest protest" category:

  Giving Away the Family Dog

  by imallgrowedup in

  2. friends

  i was wondering if anyone out there has ever needed to find a new home for a family pet, and if so, how they handled breaking the news to the kids.

  we got this dog when he was 13 weeks old and he is now 16 months old.

  in the short time we have had him, despite all the love and attention he receives, he has destroyed our home!

  As I write this, I am bawling my eyes out just thinking about it - I loved that dog more than I have ever loved most people.

  You post reminds me of the time when my younger sibling's pet got really sick and Mom took him to the vet --and came home empty-handed. There was a lot of crying until Mom said that the pet was at "the kitty farm", the place where all really old cats go to play in the catnip and enjoy their golden years. It was a long time 'til it was realized that the cat had actually been euthanized.

  I guess Mom said that because she thought a fairytale would make her kids feel a lot better than the truth.

  I'm sorry you have to make such a difficult decision, especially now that your boy has become attached to the doggie. Maybe you could have sent the puppy away sooner, but sometimes we humans hold on longer than we should out of hoping that things will change. I know I've been guilty of that.

  Sorry I don't really have any helpful advice. Good luck.
